This is still just an annealer, right? Way cool, just nothing beyond what DWave is offering.

No, it is more than an annealer. I think they are aiming for a 7 x 7 lattice of qubits with nearest-neighbor two-qubit gates and one-qubit operations that are enough for computational universality.

(The noise rates will still be relatively high, and they might not be able to measure [and reinitialize] qubits at intermediate steps, feeding results back adaptively. Practically, that would limit using fault tolerance.)

No, this is the real thing they are trying to achieve.
